Did you need to run the Shoretel version 7 client on Windows 2000? Shoretel has dropped support for Windows 2000 clients while at the same time is not certifying Shoretel versions less than 7 to work with the latest necessary Microsoft server security patches. So if you to were forced to update to version 7 while you still have some Windows 2000 Workstations in use, this trick may help you out.

The Shoretel client upgrade is blocked with a message about NETWORK SERVICE not available. Simply create a user called NETWORK SERVICE and then run the client upgrade again. It worked for me on ST7 v.12.5.8107.0.

Download Shoretel Web Dialer Here

Using these tiny scripts you can dial your Shortel phone by simply clicking a web page link. I believe Shortel is selling something a product like this. All I am asking for are links back to this page or to www.timberlinedealerships.com.

See install.txt for full notes. I am using Shoretel 6.1 on a XP workstation on IE7 and it works fine for me.

What this program does for you is registers tel: and callto: so that they can be dialed straight through to your shoretel deskphone.  It also adds right click dialing to selected numbers from web pages.

Please do not link directly to the file on this server.  Instead link to this web page.
